The moment of tension after the final whistle between the coaches moved from the stadium to the press room. In his match analysis, Sérgio Conceição criticized Rio Ave and noted the short playing time of the second half, with the Rio Ave coach responding.
“I want to say that Rio Ave played three of the ten matches with the most time in the league. In fact, that was the game that took the most time of the trip. [ainda faltam disputar dois jogos]. So don’t be fooled by things that don’t matter, because we are strong candidates to be one of the teams with the most time in the games. Last season we won League 2 and I didn’t underestimate the others,” he shot.
It is reported that, on this day, seven of the nine scheduled matches have already been played (the reception of Vitoria de Guimarães at Casa Pia and the visit of Gil Vicente to Vesella). In this sense, the duel between Rio Ave and FC Porto is, in fact, the one with the most useful time – 58:02 minutes, equivalent to 59 percent.
